QB1 is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/zac-taylor-joe-burrow-has-been-fully-cleared-for-contact\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fully cleared<\/a> for contact per head coach Zac Taylor and that&#8217;s music to the ears for all of Bengaldom. Burrow was sharp on his first day back with the full team present as he&#8217;ll look to stack consecutive good days with the training staff closely monitoring his wrist. In the opening session of the 2024 NFL season, Burrow was doing it all as noted by Paul Dehner Jr. from the <a  href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheAthleticNFL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Athletic<\/a>. Based on all that number nine has endured last season, this is all you could hope for at this stage in recovery. Taylor has also noted they will give Burrow occasional rest days in camp and throughout the regular season to try and keep him as healthy as possible over the long haul.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Early drills for Burrow. <\/p>\n<p>Zac Taylor said any holding back of Burrow early in camp would be for a day, not limiting in practice he\u2019s already participating. <\/p>\n<p>So, we may see a day off here and there early, but when he\u2019s out here, he\u2019s doing it all. <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uYaTh6EQrd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/uYaTh6EQrd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pauldehnerjr\/status\/1816180009171607711?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 24, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Joe Burrow Sharp on Day 1 of Training Camp<\/h2>\n<h3>The Real Joe Burrow<\/h3>\n<p>Even though Burrow is sporting the new <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Bengals\/status\/1816174525324673363\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">slim shady<\/a> haircut and is more muscular, those are the only new aspects to discuss for the Bengals signal caller.\u00a0 Otherwise, he still looks solid, and moves well in the pocket and when rolling out.
